THE DEMOCRAT WILL SUP PORT THE COUNTY NOMI NEES. Did the editor of the Democrat have time to to listen to the bray- ings ol every jackass who assails him for shaping the course of his paper to conduce to the best inter ests of our section by supporting Hon. B. F. Bruton, .he might be tempted to renounce all further al legiance to the Democratic party and to ignore the county ticket. But being a conscientious man, and hav ing sacrificed about as much per sonal interest to the party as any body else in £%a&r, and not be lieving that etfery jackass who passes along is ^he mouth-piece of the party, he expects to support Butts and Butler with heart, soul and mind; and will also support the future nominees of the party, pro vided, he is not run off the track by partisan intolerance. The Democrat is an organ of opinion, and .if it ventures to say that the Democratic party is not al ways infallible, it means just what it says. We have been serving the cause of Democracy ever since the war, and we think our record of loy alty is too fully established to be questioned. We have no new posi tion to define, for we are where we ever have been. Wc again say that the nominees of the county shall have our sup port. PUBLIC SPEAKING. Albany, Ga., Sept. 9, 1872.

Wc are happy to be able to state that this gentleman's chances of re- election to the State Senate are growing stronger every day. Re ports from throughout the entire District conclusively show him to be the man for all parties to unite upon in this contest. Mr. Bruton is needed in the Sen ate—this section of the State especi ally demands his return. We are for the material prosperity of the Eighth Senatorial District, and who, of all our citizens, has worked more failhfully for that prosperity than Mr. Bruton? The extension of the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad would add new life to every business calling represented in Decatur, Mitchell and Miller coun ties, and that great public work . would be worth a hundred times its present value. Mr. Bruton s energy, ability, and identification from its Incipiency with the bill looking to the extension of said railroad de mand his return to the Senate. SHALL WE ELECT THE DEMO CRATIC TICKET IN DECATUR COUNTY ? This important question should be fully answered by every Democrat in Decatur county in the affirmative; not by mere assertion, but by prompt, energetic and efficient ac tion. Let us be plain—very plain: Don’t allow yourselves, Democrats, to be lulled into the belief by inflated stump orators, that Radicalism is doomed and damned in this county, Previous to every election our friends have rallied under the inspiring ex clamation, that “.we’re bound to whip this fight.” But have we whipped it ? No. Have wc gained the slightest advantage ? No.. This is fact bereft of rhetorical flourish. The Radical party* of Decatur county is as strong to-day as it ever was; and are we blind to its realiza tion ? Many of us are, becaftse the Democratic party is so immensely patriotic and so miserably impracti cal that it cannot see beyond the end of its nose/ We are tired of hallucinations; we are tired of “hip, hip, hurras;” we are tired of im probabilities; we are tired of every thing that has marked the sickly course of our party thus far in this campaign. . • We want less blowing, less gass ing, less contumely and invective, and more faithful work. We want more of the probable and less of the improbable—we want more gener osity and less selfishness—more ac tion and less declamation. Reader, have you done anything for the Democratic party—have you given yourself one hour’s extra trouble for your country’s welfare ? If you have' not, pardon us for telling you, that thejredcmtiou of our country will cost any amount of trouble, of pains and expense. If you expect to win the fight by being a passive looker-on, you a*c about as sensible as the man who fell into a well and then at tempted to fall out of it. The Radical party is a working organization; its existence depends thereon. The Radical party pro per is composed of a few white men, who in order to live must work to keep the ignorant prejudices of the negro always aroused, therelore they work before, during and after all campaigns. Can Democrats see the point. mittee, wants to get the names of all straighout Democrats, and of those likely to become so, in order that be may supply them with anti- Greeley documents.

I am formally notified of my nomination by the Congres sional Convention which met at Al bany on the 4th inst. , to elect a can didate for the Democratic party, to represent the 2nd Congressional District in the 43rd Congress of the United States. In formally accepting the honor thus conferred, permit me through your committee to say that I feel deeply grateful to that able and patriotic body of my fellow-citizens for such a 'distinguished' mark of public favor, and nothing shall be wanting that my limited abilities can offer, to- secure a triumph of the great principles of our party in the present eanvass. And I call upon every Southern man in the District to disregard all personal preferences and wishes^ and commence at once boldly to work and win freedom from misrule and degrading oppres sion, now being heaped upon us by the National party in power. Much indeed is at stake and I trust all will work for deliverance. Again, gentlemen, through you I tender to the Convention and the people of the District whose represe- sentatives yon are, my grateful acknowledgements^ for this manifes tation of their confidence and es teem. And to each member of this committe, my warmest regards and thanks for the very flattering terms embraced in your letter. Very Respectfully, and truly Yours, G. J. Wright.
